On 10.01.2010 the Kiwanis Club of Chatsworth sponsored a play date at Brandonís Village with integrated play, face painting, arts & crafts, entertainment, and lunch. Brandon's Buddies gives children with disabilities the opportunity to play with their typically-able peers, while giving their parents a chance to share experiences and advice with other parents/caregivers. It gives children without disabilities the chance to get to know their peers and gain greater awareness and compassion.

Brandon's Buddies is a program of The K.E.N. Project. A free kids club that meets every month at Gates Canyon Park in Calabasas. This playground, which is the first fully-accessible playground in the region, was made possible thanks to the Friedman Charitable Foundation, the City of Calabasas, the Las Virgenes Special Education P.T.A. and Shane's Inspiration.
